Sincerely: May I, Chaim

Bachurs Can’t be choosers
I didn’t choose this
This life chose me X2

It's not fair that it's a fact
put my heritage on blast
not prepared for this impact
of this terrorist attack
I need a therapist at that
and I'm scared of this collapse
can i cherish what is smashed
like our cherubs in the Vat X2

Chapter 1: A Blessed Gene Pool

not easy for us immigrants to figure out employment
After Holocaust gotta relearn where all the joy went
I've got a make it, inoculated with Soylent
Don't bite the hand that feeds you even if they feed you poison

Wake up every morning before the Sun comes up
Gonna make it happen mom its your sons come up
A Lot of pain has elapsed where we come from's tough
but that doesn't mean I can't sing all the unsung stuff

Top of my pool and I'm trimming it
Things were going swimmingly
Keep building up my winning streak
And this is the beginning seed
Ronnie’s in an arena made for your grinning teeth

A flood every flutter, I'm a shoe in like a centipede
When the Jaws drop then the sharks aren’t your enemies
Scan the navy seal, go fish, ain't over till the Fin in Swede

All-American setting records every race
I'm not an Aryan, Eugenic records been erased

It's not fair that it's a fact
Put my heritage on blast
Not prepared for this impact
Of this terrorist attack
I need a therapist at that
And I'm scared of this collapse
Can i cherish what is smashed
Like our cherubs in the Vat X2

Chapter 2: Learn to Crawl Before you Sprint

And I understand all of your regret is shrouded
The world promise sunshine and instead it clouded
But your son shines with Athletic prowess
Indebted so where I’m headed’ll make our dead the "proudest"

I made it to the top Israeli National team
Swimming around the clock I was as fast as can be
Crossing oceans of emotion very passionately
Winning gold, every goal never imagined to see

Every four years is the dream of any swim kid
First class flight qualified to the Olympics
I told you mom every word i said I meant it
“It’s in Munich” then the moon eclipsed right in an instant

Less than 30 in the chambers we're still bitter on the truth
Yes we're owing Jesse Owens we'll consider it a ruse
And even worse it's a curse caused by Hitler to the Jews
Violence inside that chimney a fiddler on the roof

It's not fair that it's a fact
put my heritage on blast
not prepared for this impact
of this terrorist attack
i need a therapist at that
and I'm scared of this collapse
can i cherish what is smashed
like our cherubs in the vat X2

Chapter 3: Access Deny

But is this not my chance for vindication?
Affirming it in Germany is indignation
the final solution is win in there nation
Seize the פה Diem is the spin I’m taking

No, No darling you von't return
her Hungarian accent is blunt and firm
Anti-antisemitism not stunned but sure
Her verdict, something with which I'd need to come to terms

Heavy reluctance but I heeded what mom stated
Elephant in the room, trip woulda been truncated
Perhaps a premonition or a moment of dumb fate it
Took every lapse elapsed and collapsed when conflated

That day you saved my life, I would've been killed
A limp is Jacob's wrestle at the foot of the hill
And it hurts deep inside had I stood up and still
went to Munich then I don't know if my mother would heal

It's not fair that it's a fact
Put my heritage on blast
Not prepared for this impact
Of this terrorist attack
I need a therapist at that
And I'm scared of this collapse
Can i cherish what is smashed
Like our cherubs in the vat X2
